That’s not patriotism. Being patriotic is like being honest; if someone has to stress how honest they are, they’re not.

Put another way: patriotism is shown through actions, not through words.

I show my patriotism by voting and ensuring the rights and autonomy of others is protected. That's theoretically why nations exist. I can be proud of mine when it fulfills that promise.

Patriotism is loving your country by loving its foundation. It's people. Loving your neighbor. Loving your brothers and sisters. I feel no love from the GOP.
